For Valentine's Day Tie Your Love Up In Pearls

Some people have very romantic ideas about Valentine's Day. Notions that involve flowers, chocolates, a dinner at a fancy restaurant and love poems while others wishes are of a more carnal nature.

There has often been a correlation between the stores that sell intimate products and the seedier neighborhoods of any given town. Kiki de Montparnasse has always made sure that sexy and sensual does not have to mean low end and trashy. The flagship stores are located in New York's SoHo on Greene Street and in Los Angeles on Melrose Avenue and feature beautiful lingerie, jewelry and other objects of desire. The Las Vegas store located at Crystals in the MGM CityCenter is slightly more steamy, as befits sin city, with a Couples Dressing Room and Portrait Booth so customers can turn elegant shopping into foreplay. The company also features a well designed web-site which sells their products.

If you'd like to have a naughty Valentine's Day but still want to do it in luxury and style there are several products from Kiki de Montparnasse that might pique your interest. One is the Pearl Restraints, ten feet of strung pearls handmade by the craftsmen of E.R. Butler & Co. Each strand is finished with metal signature loops, can be worn as a necklace or full body jewelry, or just pull the pearls through the metal loops to create very fancy restraint cuffs. This item is a Kiki exclusive and sells for $2,400. They also offer regulation handcuffs covered in 24k gold with the key on a separate gold chain for $350.

If you'd like to invest in something a little tamer, they carry a large selection of body oils, scented candles and pretty lingerie including panties with a satin heart on the rear.

New Must-Have For Celebs?

If you're going to be buying a Christmas present for a celebrity friend this year, you might want to take a look at what Lindsay Lohan just bought herself. TMZ reports that she picked up a pair of diamond-encrusted gold handcuffs at Fred Segal in Beverly Hills for $820. She's wearing them around a long gold chain, so it is anyone's guess as to whether she feels its more of a fashion statement to wear them that way or whether she's just worried about not having them on hand when she needs them. Traditionalists - and cops - will want to stick with the standard silver cuffs, but you can't deny that gold brings a certain amount of luxury to a decidedly un-luxe object.
